Undead God: I Can Extract Everything

More than a month ago, Dean McKenzie had discovered the Skeleton Assassin he had sent to protect Finch Olmedo. They had battled, and with his Fourth-turn power, Finch had managed to subdue the Six-turn Skeleton Assassin.

The poor fellow who had just been newly-named as the 13th was killed once again.

Although the 13th had not used his full strength to protect his target, Finch’s power was undeniable.

After that battle, Dean knew that his ‘golden boy’, Finch, had fully matured, and grown into his powers.

Compared to this fully-formed ‘golden boy’, another of his children with the Extraordinary Template was causing Dean to fret.

Calvin’s spirit had crumbled after leaving the mountains. It’s been several months, and he hadn’t advanced a single level.

His Template was still the Ordinary Template.

As a person, he appeared to be in complete decline.

The feeling was as if his world was falling apart.

In these few months, if it weren’t for Dean’s skeleton watching him, he might have died in some anonymous corner.

Looking at Calvin, Dean hesitated, deciding whether to let him continue this downward spiral.

In truth, Dean knew very well how to restore Calvin’s vitality.

It was actually quite simple. If he could return to the Land of Bone again, there was a high chance that Calvin might make a miraculous recovery.

But pursuing such an approach would inevitably bring about danger.

“Forget it. Let him be for now he should be okay as long as he’s alive.

I should only revive him when my own power is strong enough.

Faith isn’t something someone who hasn’t achieved Six-turn, like myself should meddle with.”

Dean did have this self-awareness.

One should only do what their strength allows.

If someone is not strong enough but pursues grand goals, they are likely to meet a tragic end.

“I should focus on developing the City of Bone for now. Even though the City of Bone currently has only a little over three hundred residents, it is already generating considerable profit for me.

It’s about time for further development!”

Following this, Dean gave an order and a number of shops were opened in the central district of the City of Bone, where he had previously reserved several storefronts.

The Bone Equipment Store responsible for selling, recycling and repairing equipment.

The Bone Pharmacy responsible for selling, recycling, and concocting potions.

The Bone General Store responsible for the sale and recycling of goods and materials.

The Bone Variety Store responsible for selling a variety of everyday necessities.

Besides these four regular shops, there was also a Bone Corpse Recycling Center.

It publicly purchased corpses at set prices.

A Level-One Corpse: Elite Template (5 Silver Coins), Excellent Template (25 Gold Coins), Rare Template (1 Gold Coin), Perfect Template (5 Gold Coins).

The price for a Level Two corpse is five times that of a Level One corpse.

The price for a Level Three corpse is five times that of a Level Two corpse.

And so on…

An Extraordinary Template, regardless of the level, can be bought for 20,000 Gold Coins, and the price is negotiable.

The prices that Dean offered weren’t very high, especially for corpses below the Extraordinary Template, but it provided a source of income for the professionals.

They were visiting the City of Bone every day anyway, they might as well bring back a few corpses each time.

With a few corpses each, a few hundred could translate into thousands per day.

Even if they were just Elite Template corpses, in a month, they could accumulate an Extraordinary Template. Besides, the population of Dean’s City of Bone was definitely more than 300.

The number of residents was steadily rising.

So, the corpses they could bring back were certainly not just Elite Template.

Indeed, as the corpse collection center opened on the first day, more than 300 people managed to garner almost a thousand corpses for Dean.

The worst were Elite Templates, and the best were Perfect Templates.

Dean spent three to four thousand Gold Coins that day alone.

And that was just the first day.

Likewise, as the population of the City of Bone continued to increase, the business at the corpse collection center progressively boomed.

Though Dean later stopped accepting Elite Template corpses, the corpses that flowed in were always in surplus.

In just half a month, the daily expenditure to purchase corpses had reached 30,000-4.0,000 Gold Coins.

That’s ten times more than initially.

Dean’s finances began to strain, as he wasn’t using the Purple Gold Coins.

Fortunately, now that the citizens of the City of Bone were affluent, they didn’t hold on to quite as much money.

They spent it in Dean’s establishments all across the City of Bone.

Thus, the sales in Dean’s four stores skyrocketed.

On their best day, the shops could earn as much as 70,000 to 80,000 Gold Coins.

After balancing out the expenses and earning, Dean realized that not only had he not lost any money, he had made some

“As expected, money needs to be circulated to earn more!”

Using the Corpse Collection Center, Dean managed to amass over 50,000 corpses in a month.

The worst corpses were elite templates, and there were as many as 100 perfect templates among them. A large proportion of these were attributed to the hard work of Finch.

By doing this, Finch made a fortune.

However, Finch didn’t get to keep his money long.

After all, he had many expenses. There were equipment, skills, items, task scrolls – countless ways he could spend his money.

Thus, Finch was making lots of money, but also spending it in heaps.

His power increased rapidly in the process. He soon reached level 100, and began preparing for the Fifth-turn transformation.

Just in time, Dean managed to get hold of a Fifth-turn Extermination Task Scroll and put it up for sale in the General Store for the hefty price of 50,000..
